Ricardo Cavalcanti bjj Rhode island

“Steve Santiago is one of the best instructors I've ever shared the mats with in all my years of training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He works very well with children and adults, sharing his passion for this incredible martial art.”

“Great guys! Very humble and professional! I'm from out of state and they let me drop in for a class and some rolls which was awesome. Definitely recommend for anyone locally interested in the sport or for anyone looking for a place to train while traveling.”

“This place is great, filled with excellent trainers and camaraderie. Steve is super knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Safety is always paramount first and working at your own pace is encouraged. Student affordable and great for kids as well.”

“I go here, it's an awesome school taught by a Gracie BJJ blackbelt. They recently added wrestling, boxing, & muay thai teachers as well. Professor Steve is extraordinarily patient and hella funny. It's a lot of work to get promoted, but really all you need to do is commit to showing up & you'll improve. The gym is blessed by the great Ricardo Cavalcanti himself & has separate classes for men, women, & kids.”

“Steve is one of the most dedicated instructors I have ever met. He teaches real Brazilian jiu jitsu, which means you will also learn self defense. His kids classes are a positive environment, and his adult classes are where warriors are made.”
